The front face of the pedestal features a small drinking fountain, and above the water bowl is the main dedicatory inscription that reads, "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF/ KINVER WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919." The names of those who fell in the First World War are listed on the sides of the pedestal. On the front face of the obelisk, there is an inscription that states "WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (19 NAMES)."
